A member asked:

Swelling: If there has been no injury, the swelling and discomfort may be from inflammation-probably in a joint. Another possibility is swelling due to an insect bite but there would be associated redness and/or itchiness. Try applying heat or cold, elevate the foot and,if you can take them,NSAIDS like ibuprofen may help. See your physician if symptoms persist or worsen.
